Not being good at standing on a step stool, etc. , sounds like a good reason to go to a system that doesn't require you to do that. But short-term, having someone else do it would work.

Do you want carpool to the 5k? I could give it a try, if my shortness would not make it impossible...

This is true. I should think on it.

Yes on the carpool , but not just because of this. One car makes more sense, I think.

Cool beans.

I feel pretty good about my progress pulling thistles and Bermuda grass, but I'm not having much luck with the salsify. I think I'm just gonna mow it all down and see what comes up in the spring.

I need to make another pot of fennel-carrot soup for Frances so she has something to bring to school for her lunches. She's a bit of a picky eater anyway, and she can only eat soft foods for the next few days. We've been kind of cheating by pretending that crepes and ramen noodles qualify as soft foods, but neither one works for her school lunches.

Mm, fancy soft foods!

Seriously -- I'm pretty sure back in My Day, this is when the fluffernutter on wonder bread was deployed.

Lee, as you know, M will call you soon. He can also answer your questions re: the Nest.

When I was feeding myself soft foods it was pretty much all pudding, jello and protein shakes.

Well, grass and what-have-you is cut. Halfway through edging, the plastic spool the weedeater's line was coiled on disintegrated, so I think I'm probably done with yard work for today. Does not feel like I accomplished much of anything this weekend.

Maybe dinner will help.
